- On Jan 2, 2026, Bournemouth winger Antoine Semenyo is set to play against Arsenal on Saturday despite advanced talks with Manchester City, with Iraola confirming, 'Antoine is going to play, yes.'
- Manchester City are in advanced talks to sign Antoine Semenyo and hope to wrap up a deal early in the January window, with further meetings planned this week.
